The t22e1 is a fairly unique tank with a 75mm automatic cannon this was essentially just the standard 75mm m3 cannon with a very complex auto loader attached to the gun
The autoloader could achieve 20 rounds a minute being feed from two separate magazines each with 32 rounds available one loaded with AP the other HE the gunner can switch between these rounds on the fly
I’m not sure how good of an idea it would to add into this game. To me it seems like it would basically be a sealclubbing tank, useless against BR4 and 5 but absolutely ass-blasting BR3.
Yes and no its a bit of a glass cannon and with that much ammo in it if its hit it will quickly join the us space program early but if you use good positioning you basically pick enemys apart i also forgot to mention in the post as a balancing thing make the tank take incredibly long to reload its stock of ammo similarly to the rockets found on the calliope
I think this tank is better suited for BR IV the 90mm gun fits the BR IV parameters in every respect.
The T25 medium tank was a prototype developed and tested in the United States in 1944–1945. A variant of the earlier T20/T22/T23 prototype series, the T25 was conceived as a potential replacement for both the M4 Sherman medium tank and its previously proposed successor, the T23.
Developed between mid-1943 and early 1944, the T25 tank featured a key innovation: the newer and more powerful 90mm M3 gun. Two prototypes were completed and ready for testing in 1944. However, the T26 heavy tank (later known as the M26 Pershing)—also equipped with the 90mm M3 gun—was put into production instead.
Hull front: 76 mm (sloped armor). Hull sides and rear: 50 mm (sides) and 38 mm (rear). Turret: front — up to 76 mm, sides and rear — 63 mm. Gun mantlet: up to 89 mm.
When comparing the American experimental T25 tank with the production M26 Pershing, the M26 Pershing was more heavily armored. Both tanks were developed in the United States under the same program, but the T25 was an interim prototype, whereas the M26 Pershing emerged as the final, maximally protected variant.
This tank has better armour than Chi-Ri. Chi Ri only has about 75mm of armour .
While T22E1 has a slope hull armour with 87mm of effective thickness. The front turret armour thickness is 88.9mm.
